W. F. Nickle. The Ferguson Government is go- ing to learn that there are a lot of people who will fight any relaxation of prohibition in Ontario. In the churches on Sunday petitions were largely signed protesting against the proposed measure to increase the alcoholic content of beer to 4.40 per cent. The objective was to secure one thousand signatures. The came Is being done in all other On- tario constituemcies. These petitions will be presented to the representa- tive for the riding and then Tiled away for future use. On Tuesday and Wednesday the annual rally of prohibition forces takes place in Massey Hall and delegates will be coming from ail over the province. Kingston is send- ing up a very strong representation and of these a number will be chosen to interview Kingston's member, Attorney-General Nickle. Nickle has stated that he will not see delegations on the beer issue, but representatives of his owh con- stitueney are maturally exempt. CONDEMNS FERGUSON GOVERNMENT POLICY Sydenham Street Methodist Board Passes Strong Resolu tion Against Stronger Beer. The, official board of Sydenham street Methodist church, Kingston, at its regular meeting, Friday, Feb. 13th, passed the following resolu- tion unanimously by a standing votei-- "Moved by Dr. A. P. Chown, sec: onded by Major H. D. Wightman, and resolved:--We, the members of the official board of Sydenham street Methodist church, Kingston, desire to express our hearty commendation of the increasingly successful efforts that have been made by the attorn- ey-general of the Province to enforce the Ontario Temperanc Act, and our pride in the fact that the attorney- 'general ig the representative of our own constituency. But we feel it incumbent on us at the same time and with equal sincerity to declare our unqualified condemnation of the declared policy of the Government of Ontario in its proposal to increase the permitted alcoholic content of beer to nearly double that which is at present allowed by the Ontario Temperance Act. We regard such a proposal as a distinctly retrograde movement, an invasion of the prin- ciple of the act; a menacd to.the ris- ing generation of our youth as well as to public sobriety generally, The premier repeatedly gave the people of the provinée to understand, and was well aware that his pledges were so interpreted, that, in the event of the affirmation of the Act at the polls, the principle of the act would be retained unimpaired and its pro- visions strengthened, To maintain that the increase of the alcoholic content of the beverage allowed to be sold under the Act is a mainten- ance of that principle is the merest cavilling; and we cannot acquit the premier, or the memebrs of his gov- ernment who support him in this proposed amendment, of a distinct breach of faith, in the face of these reiterated pledges that the Act would be strengthened and more rig- idly enforced. 0 "We do therefore respectfully and earnestly demand that instead of any relaxation of its restrictions, amend- ments, if any, should be made to implement those pledges in a more '| effective enforcement; especially in those particulars of illegal sale and unlawful importation which have in many quarters attained the propor- "| tions of a pubic scandal." Honored on Anniversary. Rev. Father Fox, Cornwall, who, on Feb. 7th, reached the fiftieth an- aniversary of his ordination, was hon- ored with a solemn high mass, a din- per, and gifts of money from the priests and laity along with ad- dresses. Father Fox was ordained priest by the Archbishop of Toronto, on Feb. 7th, 1875, for the Diocese of Kingston. At that time the Rt. Rev. Edward John Horan, "Bishop of Kingston, had resigned. Father Fox in Kingston until April 25th; 1876, when he was appointed to Kemptville.
